Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1732060A2] The power consumed by a light source associated with a device (34) can be reduced by selectively influencing the activation and deactivation of the light source. A label (24) associated with a unit (22) of content that is "playable" on the device (34) can selectively influence the activation and deactivation of the device (34). By a way of example, a light source associated with a satellite radio could automatically turn on when a new song starts to play. Different embodiments can involve vastly different types of content, remote devices, and activation/deactivation triggers.
